Selection Process
Our jury is composed of Marble House Project alumni and professionals within their field. We do not post the names of our jury and jury members change annually. After artists are chosen, they are specifically curated into residency groups by staff, board and outside consultants.
Collaborators: Two artists maximum. If applying as a collaborative (two artists max), please complete a single application in the discipline most applicable for your shared project. Please include both artists’ resumes in your upload and an artist statement which relates to both collaborators. Work samples should reflect both artists’ work, and/or work from previous collaborations. Collaborators should be willing to share a studio and a bedroom.
